Harmonized Scales

Today I would like to talk briefly about Harmonized Scales. There are lots of scales that a person can practice and I suggest that you do so but most people no nothing about Harmonized Scales.

If you are new to this then it might seem a bit weird at first. Always remember to take it slow. The benefits to learning this type of scale are very great. Once you get better and better at playing the guitar you will find that using these types of scale progressions or even just one part as a small chord will come in handy. At first they will sound a little off but as you get better at playing it you will be able to make them sound more fluid.

Take it slow at first and then after you get it down start to bring up your speed. A metronome would be very beneficial if you have one to use. If not then tap your foot or something.

Play around with these and come up with some of your own scales if you would like. Over time you will understand how greatly important this exercise is to your guitar playing.
